About Me
Namaste! My name is Dammaru Prasad Niraula, and I have spent more than 35 years exploring and guiding in the Himalayas of Nepal. My journey began as a porter, and through dedication, training, and experience, I became a licensed trekking guide and trip leader. Today, I proudly lead treks through Nepal's most spectacular mountain regions, sharing not only the famous trails but also the local culture, traditions, and hidden places that many visitors never get to see.
I believe every trek should be safe, enjoyable, and meaningful. Whether you are hiking to Everest Base Camp, exploring the peaceful Gokyo Lakes, crossing the Three Passes, or visiting the Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, Makalu, or Kanchenjunga regions, I focus on creating a journey that matches your interests, fitness level, and travel goals.
As a local guide, I enjoy introducing visitors to Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, traditional mountain lifestyles, and authentic Nepali hospitality. My goal is to help every traveller leave Nepal with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the Himalayas.
If you are looking for an experienced local guide who values safety, honest service, and personal attention, I would be delighted to welcome you to Nepal.
Local Tips & Insights
The Himalayas offer much more than beautiful mountain scenery. Take time to enjoy the small moments—sharing tea with local families, visiting ancient monasteries, watching prayer flags flutter in the wind, and learning about the traditions of the mountain communities. These experiences often become the most memorable part of a journey.
For the best trekking experience, visit during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), when the weather is generally stable and mountain views are at their finest. Walk at a comfortable pace, drink plenty of water, and allow enough time for acclimatization at higher elevations.
Try local dishes such as dal bhat, fresh Sherpa bread, Tibetan bread, and warm Himalayan soups. Carry a reusable water bottle with a purification method to reduce plastic waste and help protect the mountain environment.
Sunrise from Kala Patthar, the turquoise waters of the Gokyo Lakes, the crossing of Cho La, Kongma La, or Renjo La passes, and evenings spent in welcoming teahouses are experiences that many visitors remember for a lifetime.
